Student Life
Classroom learning is a big part of VCA, but the story doesn't stop there. Athletics, music, leadership, service, and chapel all shape the student experience.
Athletics
The VCA Lions compete in the Central Valley Athletic Conference and at the provincial level through SHSAA across a range of sports.
Recreational activities run through the school year too (gym time, intramurals, and fitness opportunities).
Activities & clubs
Fine Arts
Develop your gift in art, drama, and music. Choral 10/20/30 are credit classes; students perform at chapels, churches, retirement homes, and in the spring drama/musical production.
Spiritual Formation Trips
Retreats and trips that step students away from normal life so they can grow in vulnerability with God and with peers in meaningful ways.
Student Leadership
SEEDS team, athletic coaching and officiating, leading worship, and older-to-younger student mentoring. Students taking responsibility for their own spiritual growth and the community around them.
Chapel and spiritual life
Every VCA student takes Christian Ethics from Kindergarten through Grade 12. Biblical principles are woven into every subject. Chapel, Bible memory, and the VCA Echo weekly Tuesday morning audiovisual production help shape spiritual life across the school.
